In the eighties when Asbury was still considered questionable, but it had a certain seedy charm, there were many people on the boardwalk. It was very active, the little shops all seemed to do well. It wasn't until the 'last' development scheme failed that the town took a true downward turn.

Hi. I am not a 'regular' poster and I don't live in Asbury but I feel a connection to it from many years spent there. I don't understand why the 're-development' must be so far- reaching. Asbury Park has charm, it's near the ocean and the boardwalk, why can't it just be a nice place to live?
